I love Megan's work! I've been eyeing her illustrations for ages. I have been dabbling with embroidery for a few years, but my techniques are very basic! How nice it would be to have this as inspiration.

I learned to embroider when I was a little kid, and I took it back up again about a year ago. I'm currently working on embroidering the bookcloth for my wedding guest book. Megan Eckman's illustrations are so lovely and will make beautiful embroidery patterns!

I've been embroidering since I can remember! Probably about 4th grade. I'm 34 now. Has always been something to help me unwind. I plan to teach my little girl when she seems old enough to handle a needle!BeeLoveLee@msn.com

my grandmother taught me how to embroider as a little girl, due to university and other commitments i haven't practiced in some time, though i have made a conscious decision to get back into it as soon as possible!!

Honestly I can't really remember, I think I started cross stitching in high school, but I've been embroidering on different fabrics on and of from before then even. Would love to do one of these patterns<3

Oh how lovely are they?!! I've been embroidering for about 2 years. Since I found knitting, embroidery has strayed from my radar a little but seeing these cute pieces has inspired me to get back into it!

Ooooo, I am so excited I was just drooling over these last night and was even more excited when I logged on here to find the give away. I have been "fawning" over "Coming Home" :p I have been embroidering since middle school and that was quite some time ago.

What lovely pictures and designs! I've been embroidering since I was young. My mom taught me and my little sister all sorts of crafty mediums and the stitchery and crocheting stuck with me. The last thing I embroidered was a picture of my two cockatiels, Elvis and Stella.

I've been embroidering officially for two years now, but the first time I ever attempted to stitch anything was when I was ten years old and I made my puppy have a fancy tea party with me where I thought it would be classy to sew a big letter V into a handkerchief. Needless to say, my attempt wasn't very successful with a restless puppy and without a hoop...

I've been embroidering for as long as I can remember! My grandmother used to sit me down with a needle and thread to keep me still while she knitted. I used to make little squiggly people with misshapen heads and odd looking faces. I'm much better at it now tho! I incorporate painting on fabric as well as embroidering it!Mandy

Oh my goodness, I have been embroidering for YEARS. This post made me think back and realize that it's probably been 15 or 20 since I first picked up an embroidery hoop - eek! These patterns look like they will be fantastic.

I've been embroidering for about 5 years? But I'm not a consistent embroiderer, whatsoever. i'm loving it more and more, though. and usually will add embellishments to my wet-felted pieces and accessories! <3

Such a wonderful giveaway. Can I still enter if I have not yet ventured into embroidery, but have wanted to for over a year - but have just needed a little push to know where to start - like, say, winning an embroidery pattern - that would definitely light the fire ;-)

Embroidering is on my list of crafts I want to try by next summer! It sounds time-consuming but I have seen such amazing artwork (including these ones) that I can see it's really worth taking it up as a hobby!

I've been embroidering since elementary school! My mom got me started and I loved it. She was so encouraging and always impressed that I was able to "freehand" without a pattern. Many years later, I completed my most detailed piece so far: http://www.thethingstheydo.com/2010/06/12/itchin-for-some-stitchin/A portrait of my husband and me :)

I just started embroidery last week actually! I decided it would be nice if I could make vintage, flour sack towels with funny 1950's twist for my best friends' wedding later this fall. So far it has been a frustrating process. I sure hope she like them!

I started embroidering 50+ years ago. Tried counted thread for a while and have returned to printed patterns.It can be hard these days to find patterns with a bit of sophistication, so I'm really looking forward to seeing Megan's new line! Very promising!

I've been embroidering for almost 2 years, although lately I've been trying my hand at cross-stitching. I've been collecting embroidered wall-art (specifically florals!) for much longer though. Great giveaway :)

I've been embroidering since I was 7 :) been lacking the last years though. At the moment I'm trying to get my skills back together to run my own little embroidered goodies for my upcoming shop! I absolutely adore Megans patterns and art work. absolutely inspiring!!!! I do hope I win this, I'd love a piece of hers on my wall :)

So, so, so pretty! One of these must live on my wall, and SOON! Don't laugh, but I have been embroidering for about 14 months now, the problem is, it's still the same piece..... I think I aimed a little high for my first :) No matter - I love it, and Megan's work blows my mind!Luvluv, Sway

I've been collecting embroidery patterns for a few years, but only just got around to starting the actual act of embroidering! I think embroidered pieces are so beautiful, and these patterns are stunning! Thanks so much for the chance to win.

I've been embroidering things since I was a little girl. My mother's mother thought learning to sew and embroider was second best to proper manners. ;) I took a long break through high school years and started back up about 4 years ago. Fun stuff. ;)

My mom taught me several years ago when our family was evacuated for a hurricane. Cross stitching always brings up those memories of spending time with my mom, learning something she loves dearly. These are precious!

When I was a little kid I got those easy-to-make embroidery kits for children from my grandmother. I really loved playing with it! Unfortunately I lost track of it when I grew older. But lately I'm into crafting again, finally.
